Timeshare is shared holiday ownership with flexibility! Timeshare enables you
to buy a share in a Share Block Company that leases or owns a resort property.
This ownership gives you the right to occupy a specific room or chalet for one
or more weeks each year. You specify the resort and time of year. You also have
full access to all the amenities and service facilities offered at the resort
you have chosen to own at.

Purchasing Timeshare affords you an unforgettable
holiday each year at today’s prices. Your Timeshare purchase is for life and my
be bequeathed to your heirs. Your initial investment is a once off purchase cost
which will grow with the demand of the resort and the growth will be determined
by the demand of the week and unit at the time you sell it.

Conventional
timeshare entitles you to the use of a specific room for one or more weeks each
year at a time convenient to yourself.

Essentially, timeshare enables you to
secure your future holidays at excellent value. Should you wish to own a week

Not unless you choose to do so - and you probably won't once you discover how
many exciting holiday options await you both in South Africa and abroad. Our
exchange plan allows you to swop the holiday period you bought for another
period at another Resort of equal value. To keep the exchange equitable, the
Seasons, Size and Grading of resorts is taken into account. So in addition to
your automatic SunSwop membership, your shares can be converted to points
for the year you deposit your week, to determine the trading value. Points
(trading power) are allocated, which are then used as your currency to exchange
– please consult SunSwop
for more information.

The weeks of the year have been divided into Seasons. Each Season is given a
colour coding on the SunSwop chart:

Peak is based on government school holidays. Peaks are divided again into
peak 1,2,3 and 4. Depending on the holiday and demand.

Red is based on periods of high demand, e.g. private school holidays, public
holidays. White is based on periods of average demand.

Blue for periods of lower demand.

Fair Exchange also takes note of the Size of each room, suite or chalet,
based on the number of guests the suite accommodates. Here again, your request
may be for a unit, which is equal or smaller in size to the timeshare you own.

Grading of resorts is also considered when allocating the trading value of
the shares. Gold Crown Status being the highest, then Silver Crown Status, (also
knows as R.I.D status) then Standard status.

The introduction of 'Trading Power' now enables timesharers to exchange on a
weekly, daily or split week basis, with the added advantage of being able to
trade across seasons, and unit size! Using this conversion process to trading
value/points you can see at a glance which exchange weeks fall into the same
category as those your own; you may then request your exchange holiday at a band
falling within the same point band or within any band lower than your own. Left
over trading points remain yours to use within a 3 year period.

Your Share Block Company is run by a Board of Directors elected by your
fellow shareholders. Directors are bound by the Companies Act and Share Blocks
Control Act to report to the shareholders every year. In addition the company
is audited annually by one of the “Big 4” auditing firms and managed by the
Southern Sun Group, who have many years of experience as pioneers of the South
African Timeshare Industry. Umhlanga Sands Resort was the first Resort to convert to
Timeshare in South Africa 24 years ago.

Levies are raised to cover the operating costs of your resort and to maintain
and protect the assets of shareholders. We spend them on exactly the same
day-to-day maintenance and improvement projects that you would undertake to
protect the value of your own home. We also try to build up a replacement
reserve (of cash), to ensure that we not only maintain the standards of quality,
luxury, amenities and service but to improve them in the long run. Directors
approve the levies on an annual basis for each Share Block Company Shareholders
receive a copy of the Annual Financial Statements of the Company each year,
which reflects the financial situation of the Company.

You must pay your levy once a year for each unit you own, regardless of
whether you have space-banked your unit for accrual or exchange, placed it in
the Resort rental pool or entered into a private arrangement. Your levy
statement will be mailed to you five months before the beginning of the period
you own and the amount should be paid three months before occupation.

of purchasing your holiday of a lifetime at affordable prices. Umhlanga Sands
Resort and Sabi River Sun Resort ownership is in perpetuity
